Germany : Tuesday, 21 December 2010 (Loca Time)
A German Court has ruled that pets are not allowed to be tattoed because it causes unnecessary pain and suffering.
The court at Munster, in Germany, came to its decision after hearing a complaint about the number of people joining the animal tattooing trend, which began when eight pigs were tattooed with Louis Vuitton logos.
Belgian artist Wim Delvoye had tattooed the porkers with the distinctive LV sign as part of an exhibition called Art Farm two years ago.
The judges in Germany also heard a complaint about a man who wanted to get a Rolling Stones Tongue Tattoo on his pony’s thigh.
The court ruled it was not in the interest of the animals, was for the owner’s personal interest and was against the animal protection laws.
